From Dennis Prager: “Prager H1: Why is hatred of class different than hatred of race? Dennis asks why the left will so denounce hatred based on race, but then preach hatred based on class. Callers respond.”
Joseph Stalin murdered about 30 million people on the basis of economic class. The Nazis murdered on the basis of race.
The Ukrainians (because they owned land) lost over five million to the terror famine of Stalin.
Why is classism ok? Murder and hatred on the basis of class? That’s what Pol Pot did, murdering about two million Cambodians in the 1970s.
Dennis: “The president has been engaged in this. Our problems are caused by Wall Street. Our problems are caused by the rich not paying their fair share. If your mom can’t get the surgery she needs, you can blame the rich. If somebody got up and said you can blame the Jews or the blacks or the Albanians or Muslims, then the person would be drummed out of American public life. But you can blame the rich. And given the history of genocidal results… You’re rich. You are the source of my problem. I graduated college and I don’t have a job. It’s your fault, you rich expletive. This is classic left-wing rhetoric. You are the source of our problems. That’s what the Ukrainians were told by Stalin. These kulaks own land. If not for them, we would all be equal. We would all be employed if it were not for the rich. If there’s a difference between these two hatreds (one of race, one of class, I’d like to know it.”
“Until I went to college, I never knew I should be envious or resentful of my neighbor. The left teaches you to hate the rich.”
“The president didn’t do this at the beginning. This is desperate stuff to win the left.”
“Give me one movement in history that blamed its problems on the rich and then solved them. Did good for society?”
